The files node defines a group of files that all share the same attributes, including relative directory, default compiler flags and dependencies. The node can be used to define a set of header files on which other files can depend, or a set of source files to be compiled and included in a target.
depend - Declares that all files in the group depend on another file or another file group.
name - if the named file changes then all the files in the group need recompiling.files - if any of the files in the named group changes then then all the files in the group need recompiling.<depend name="filename" /> <depend files="filesId" />
options - Sets the name of the file containing compiler flags. When the cache is not used, Options.txt helps detect when the options have changed, and therefore whether files need recompiling.<options name="Options.txt" />
config - Sets the name of the file to generate that contains the C++ preprocessor defines that were active when code was compiled.<config name="outfile.h" />
tag - Adds a default compiler tag for all files in the group. See Tags.<tag value="tag" />
addTwice - When compiled to a library, adds the library twice to the link line - once at the beginning and once at the end to satisfy Linux selective linking.<addTwice value="true" />
cache - Enables compiler cache for files in the group. See compile cache for more details.
project - name of project used to manage and group object files in the cache.asLibrary - link the objects (.obj) into a .lib file, which can skip unneeded objects, but will also skip things that rely on static initializers to register handlers, so be careful.<cache value="true" project="name" asLibrary="true" />
include - Includes an external file list.<include name="filename.xml" />
section - Groups blocks of elements - usually ones that all respect the same if/unless condition.<section name="id" />...</section>
compilerflag - Adds a compiler flag when compiling files in the group.
name and value - adds 2 command-line arguments when compiling.value - adds 1 command-line argument when compiling.<compilerflag name="name" value="value" /> <compilerflag value="value" />
nvcc - This group is compiled with nvcc.<nvcc />
objprefix - Sets the id prepended to generated object (.obj) name to allow alphabetical grouping of similar objects.<objprefix value="prefix" />
precompiledheader - Use a precompiled header of given name when compiling the group.
name - the include used when precompiling these files (without the .h).directory - the location of this file.e.g. for #include <lib/Header.h>:
name="lib/Header"directory="${haxelib:somelib}/include"<precompiledheader name="name" dir="directory" />
file - Adds a file to the group, with optional attributes.
name - name of the file - may be absolute or relative to dir.tags - overrides group tags. See Tags. (optional)filterout - allows files to be skipped at compile-time if the named define exists. This is useful when the define is set sometime after the file list is parsed.embed - causes the file to be embedded as an extern C++ const char * string constant of the specified name.<depend name="..." /> (child node) - filename of additional dependency.<file name="filename" tags="tag,tag1" filterout="define" embedName="embed" > <depend name="filename1" /> <depend name="filename2" /> </file>
